This article is poorly written, and directionally seems to blame those laid off recently.

But it also reveals some numbers that may be more accurate than the “Comcast” math lately. For example, it claims 634 employees cut at CTC alone, not both towers, and claims about 7500 telecom employee layoffs per CGC, but mentions counts just 1 paragraph before that which I estimated at least 10k.

The headline alone is infuriating “Comcast sends wake-up call to employees as customers cut services” which makes it sound like we have any control over these decisions.

Change of general manager.
More extreme job cuts.
Massive loss of customers

What is Hocks plan for ESG? Slimming it down to sell or just running it into the ground so it dies of un-natural causes?

Hey leaders - just wanna tell you that it's not cool to lay off right before the holiday season.

https://www.nj.com/business/2026/11/nj-bank-announces-more-layoffs-as-job-cuts-top-630-this-year.html

what people are reporting about layoffs:

• layoffs in jersey city are scheduled between october 30 & jan 24, 2027.
• employees affected by the latest round were notified last week.
• JC getting hit repeatedly
• layoffs depend more on the line of business than the office location.
• addt'l cuts across multiple locations, including the west coast, but smaller layoffs (no media coverage)
• warn notices show mostly jersey city cuts, with a smaller round in plano, texas.

so we continu cutting jobs despite reporting record $$$ results.

uncertainty continues.

peace out.

Another major layoff coming in March. This isn't ending anytime soon...

Those of you who have been let go this year, how did it happen?

A) A call out of the blue from HR People Center?
B) A suddenly scheduled meeting with members of your management chain?
C) A mystery chat request on Teams?
D) A tap on the shoulder while in the office?

I got laid off last week, like most of my team. I was 100% remote and don't have a hub or big office or anything (other than branch stores) anywhere near me. How do I return my equipment? None of the paperwork or emails I've received have said anything about it. I'd call my former boss, but she also got laid off! I don't have the contact info for her former boss, and who knows if he's still around since our entire hierarchy was restructured. I know if I just keep everything it can cause me to lose severance, but they gave me no guidance!

Assuming an average annual cost of $125,000 per employee, factoring in the mix of SVPs, VPs, Directors, Senior Managers, and the company’s cost of benefits, $1 billion in savings would translate to approximately 8,000 positions.

If only 1,000 employees have been impacted so far, that would account for roughly $125 million, or just 12.5% of the announced cuts.

I realize the $1 billion in cost reductions may include expenses beyond payroll, but if a significant portion is coming from workforce reductions, wouldn’t that suggest this first wave of layoffs is just the tip of the iceberg?

Am I missing something?

Because apparently that's the only answer management has. I'm sick of working somewhere that treats people's livelihoods as an easy way to fix its problems.

US job openings unexpectedly rose in September to a four-month high, indicating stronger employer demand. Layoffs also decreased to their lowest point in over a year. The number of available positions increased significantly, surpassing economist expectations. The quits rate, reflecting voluntary job departures, also climbed to its highest level in over a year. These trends suggest a resilient labor market with increasing employer confidence.

I made work my priority, including giving up most of my weekends, and Truist outsourced my job anyway. I won't put myself through that for an employer ever again.

I'm not sure how I'd deal with that. That's my main driver in saying yes.

What's wrong with Disney? Most of us are overworked as it is. Why do they think they can keep cutting and everything will stay the same? Same amount of work on fewer and fewer people is not a sustainable strategy.

If you've been laid off, how long were you out of work before finding another position? Did you end up making less, about the same, or more money?

Full disclosure. I was let go with project star a few years ago. Used to check the site from time to time. Just stumbled back across it. Curious. Has much changed at Truist? How are things there now? I was mad when let go but landed and make a lot more money now than I ever did at Truist and am much happier. Curious about those who stayed behind or soldier on.

Seems not from my own observation. What to do if an interviewer asks for one?

If layoffs are the main way a company improves its financial results, something is wrong with its business model. Eventually, there won't be enough people left here to keep things running properly.

I know people posted this in the past, if you are not allowed to update the tax withholding does that mean you will be laid off?
Thanks

Is that too much to ask for?

Laying off local folks while offshoring all they can - that's wrong on so many levels and deserves to have some consequences. I hope customers leave in droves.

How many are looking to leave? I thought I'd retire here, but the last year or so has changed my mind. I'll be leaving as soon as I find an alternative, if I don't get laid off first.

If major layoffs are coming, why do we have so many open positions right now?

Does anyone know why there are different end dates? Some are already gone, most seem to be 12/31 and a few are 1/29. Has anyone been offered a retirement package? I am still waiting for my call from
